Boost Teamwork at Office With the "Cross-Cultural" Approach
Several companies are expanding into numerous countries and cultures. But they should not take one-size fits all approach to their business and management styles, as people from different cultures think about work in different ways.
Being aware of the cultural environment that their coworkers come from may help people work together better.
For example, people have different expectations about teamwork, says Cristina B. Gibson, of the University of Western Australia, who cowrote the study with Dana M. McDaniel, of the University of California, Irvine.
"In the United States, people used a lot of sports metaphors. Elsewhere, that just wasn't a common metaphor," Gibson said.
In Latin America many people talked about the work team as a family.
"If you just use those two contrasts and think about what you might expect from your family versus what you might expect from your sports team, you start to see the differences," she added.
Families are involved in all parts of your life, and are expected to celebrate with you socially.
"Your involvement in your sports team is more limited. Less caretaking, more competitive," she said.
